In particular, we show that their relationship deduced for Kolmogorov and non-Kolmogorov turbulence stays valid for other media as long as their spectral power laws are equal.en004670On the general equivalence of the Fried parameter and coherence radius for non-Kolmogorov and oceanic turbulencejournal article
